Go toStart and then to RunType in Chkdsk /r Note the space between k and /Click Enter ...It will probably ask if you want to do this on the next reboot...click YIf the window doesn't shutdown on its own then reboot the system manually. On reboot the system will start the chkdsk operationThis one will take longer then chkdsk /f

Note... there are 5 stages...It may appear to hang at a certain percent for a hour or more or even back up and go over the same area...this is normal...DO NOT SHUT YOUR COMPUTER DOWN WHILE CHKDSK IS RUNNING OR YOU CAN HAVE SEVERE PROBLEMSThis can take several hours to complete.When completed it will boot the system back into windows.

Go Start and then to Run ("Start Search" in Vista), Type in: sfc /scannowClick OK (Enter in Vista).Have Windows CD/DVD handy.If System File Checker (sfc) finds any errors, it may ask you for the CD/DVD.If sfc does not find any errors in Windows XP, it will simply quit, without any message.In Vista you will receive the following message: "Windows resource protection did not find any integrity violations".

If you don't have Windows CD....This applies mostly to Windows XP, since Vista rarely requires use of its DVD while running "sfc"Note This method will not necessarily work as well, as when using Windows CD, because not always ALL system files are backed up on your hard drive. Also, backed up files may be corrupted as well.

Go Start and then Runtype in regedit and click OK

Navigate to the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup

You will see various entries Values on the right hand side.

The one we want is called: SourcePath

It probably has an entry pointing to your CD-ROM drive, usually D and that is why it is asking for the XP CD. All we need to do is change it to: C:Now, double click the SourcePatch setting and a new box will pop up.Change the drive letter from your CD drive to your root drive, usually C:Close Registry Editor.

All we need to do is change it to: C:

Is this what you wanted to know?It works a lot better with a cd so if you can borrow one of the same type you have...Home, Media or Pro it would help. If still no good then let me know.Also do you have this program that uses GOM.exe
